For me, it doesn't end, it progresses. I can go months without a problem, and then the mania starts to creep up. This is why I stay in touch with my pdoc. I've had 5 medication adjustments in 2016 and none in 2014 and 2015. It's frustrating, but that's the way it is for me and I've come to accept it.

I binged on cigarette's, too. Now I'm gonna have to quit all over again. She is one of my idols.
